What’s the Stitch About Knitting Machines?
Let's talk about knitting machines! What are they, how do they work, and does it count as hand crafting if you use one? Why choose a knitting machine vs knitting by hand?
No more tangled messes of yarn!
Outside of needles and hooks, a good ball winder is the accessory that serious knitters and crocheters cannot live without.
Designed to replace the famous but now-discontinued Royal Ball Winder, the Stanwood took the well-loved design and upgraded its components, making it more reliable than ever!
Super convenient to set up - just use the integral 1.5" table clamp and you are ready to wind a ball of knitting yarn. It makes a nice center pull cake that does not roll around the floor while you knit.
Is your partner or child tired of holding your skeins while you wind? Try pairing the Stanwood with our Paradise Fibers Super Swift II - because the only thing better than performance and convenience is saving money!
